Sitelinks Watch

April 2015 - Chris Reynolds - @ChrisReynoldsUK - http://qforquery.com & http://cleverbiscuit.com

Purpose

A script to check daily whether Google brand term sitelinks have changed, and send an email if they do.

For example, for the brand 'clever biscuit' in the UK: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=clever+biscuit&gl=GB&hl=en&num=100&pws=1&gws_rd=cr

This script checks the links for you, and alerts you when they change, so you can tweak in Google's Webmaster Tools if necessary.

Dependencies

2x PHP classes. Both included in this Repo, source files at: -> http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/ -> http://code.stephenmorley.org/php/diff-implementation/.

Requires a daily cron job: crontab -e 0 15 * * * /path/to/this/file/index.php

Roadmap

-> Improve email deliverability -> Inline styles on the table (thank you Gmail) -> Pretty the whole thing up -> Add support for more than one brand
